Financial aid is administered as a clock-hour program for Massage Therapy. CLASS SIZE Classes are small, with an average class ratio of 15 students to one instructor for lab and 30 students to one instructor for lecture. When enrollment in a specialty lab grows beyond 15 students, instructors have access to additional resources to be able to spend time with individual students if requested. Lecture and lab sizes can go higher depending on the facility and the subject being taught. OUT OF CLASS ASSIGNMENTS Students in degree programs should expect to spend approximately two hours outside of class completing homework for every hour of in class lecture. Students in diploma programs will be expected to complete assigned homework and other out-of-class assignments in order to successfully meet course objectives as set forth in the course/program syllabi TRANSFER OF CREDIT INTO EVEREST Everest has constructed its transfer credit policy to recognize both traditional college credit and non-traditional learning. In general, Everest considers the following criteria when determining if transfer credit should be awarded: Accreditation of the institution; 4

10 The comparability of the scope, depth, and breadth of the course to be transferred; and The applicability of the course to be transferred to the student s desired program. This includes the grade and age of the previously earned credit. If the learning was obtained outside a formal academic setting, through a nationally administered proficiency exam, an IT certificate exam, or military training, Everest will evaluate and award transfer credit using professional judgment and the recommendations for credit issued by the American Council on Education (ACE). Academic Time Limits The following time limits apply to a course being considered for transfer credit: College Core and General Education course indefinite; Major Core course (except health science course within ten (10) years of completion; and Military training, proficiency exams (e.g. DANTES, AP, CLEP, Excelsior, etc.) and IT certificate exams the same academic time limits as College Core, General Education, and Major Core courses. Note: Due to certain programmatic accreditation criteria, health science courses must be transferred within five (5) years of completion. Required Grades For diploma, associate, and bachelor degree programs, a letter grade of C (70%) or better is required for transfer credit to be awarded. Maximum Transfer Credits Accepted Students enrolled in a diploma or associate degree program must complete at least 25% of the program in residency at the institution awarding the degree or diploma. The remaining 75% of the program may be any combination of transfer credit, national proficiency credit, Everest developed proficiency credit, or prior learning credit. Coursework Completed at Foreign Institutions All coursework completed at a foreign institution must be evaluated by a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) or a member of the Association of International Credentials Evaluators (AICE). The evaluation must be course by course with letter grades. An exception to this may be allowed for students transferring from Canada with prior approval from the Transfer Center. Transfer Credit for Learning Assessment Everest accepts appropriate credits transferred from the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), DANTES subject testing, and certain other professional certification examination programs. Contact the campus Academic Dean/Director of Education for the current list of approved exams and minimum scores required for transfer. Transfer Credit for Proficiency Examination Undergraduate students may attempt to challenge the requirement to certain selected courses by demonstrating a proficiency level based on special qualifications, skills, or knowledge obtained through work or other experience that is sufficient to warrant the granting of academic credit for a course through a Proficiency Examination. Similarly, Everest may award some credits toward undergraduate, associate, and diploma level courses for achievement of professional certifications e.g. CNE, MCSE, etc. For more information, please contact the Academic Dean or Director of Education. Experiential Learning Portfolio Students may earn credit for experiential learning through the Prior Learning Assessment program. This program is designed to translate personal and professional experiences into academic credit. Procedures for applying for credit through experiential learning are available in the Academic Dean's/Director of Education s office. Notice Concerning Transferability of Credits and Credentials Earned at Our Institution The transferability of credits earned at Everest is at the complete discretion of an institution to which a student may seek to transfer. Acceptance of the degree, diploma or certificate earned in the program in which the student is enrolling is also at the complete discretion of the institution to which a student may seek to transfer. If the credits or degree, diploma or certificate that was earned at this institution are not accepted at the institution to which a student seeks to transfer, the student may be required to repeat some or all of his/her coursework at that institution. For this reason, the student should make certain that attendance at this institution will meet his/her educational goals. This may include contacting an institution to which a student may seek to transfer after attending Everest to determine if the credits or degree, diploma or certificate will transfer. Transfers to Other Everest Locations Students in good standing may transfer to another Everest campus location. Transfer students are advised that they will be subject to the minimum residency requirements at the new campus for the program in which they are 5

11 enrolled. Students may transfer applicable credits from Everest coursework in which a C or higher was earned; however, those credits will be treated as transfer credits and will not count toward fulfilling residency requirements at the new location. Everest Consortium Agreement The Everest Consortium Agreement enables students to attend a limited number of classes (a maximum of 49% of credit hours) at an Everest campus location other than their home campus. In addition, students nearing completion of their program of study may finish their degree at another Everest campus location through the Consortium Agreement (a minimum of 51% credit hours must be completed at the Home campus). Complete details on the Everest Consortium Agreement are available in the Academic Dean s/director of Education s office. Articulation Agreements Everest College has an articulation agreement with Kaplan University under which students completing a diploma, certificate or degree program at Everest College may be eligible to transfer into Kaplan University bachelor degree program. Students may also be eligible for a limited tuition discount. Students should contact their Everest College campus Director of Education for additional information on articulation agreement transfer terms and conditions. Transfer Center Assistance Any questions regarding the transfer of credit into or from Everest should be directed to the CCi Transfer Center at (877) or transfercenter@cci.edu. DIRECTED STUDY Students unable to take a specific required course due to work schedule conflicts, emergency situations, or course scheduling conflicts may request permission to complete a course through directed study. Associate s degree students may apply a maximum of 8.0 quarter credit hours earned through directed study to the major core of study. Bachelor s degree students may apply a maximum of 16.0 quarter credits of directed study to the major core of study. Students may not take more than one directed study course in a single academic term. Diploma students are not eligible for Directed Study.

The GPA for each term and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) are calculated on courses taken in residence at Everest The Grade Point Average (GPA) is calculated at the end of each evaluation period by dividing the quality points earned by the total credits attempted for that evaluation period. The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is calculated by dividing the total cumulative quality points earned by the total cumulative credits attempted for cumulative evaluation periods. The number of quality points awarded for each course is determined by multiplying the points listed for each letter grade by the number of credits of the course. STANDARDS OF SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS (SAP) Students must maintain satisfactory academic progress in order to remain eligible as regularly enrolled students and to continue receiving federal financial assistance. The accreditor and federal regulations require that all students progress at a reasonable rate toward the completion of their academic program. Satisfactory academic progress is measured by: The student s cumulative grade point average (CGPA) The student s rate of progress toward completion (ROP) The maximum time frame (MTF) allowed to complete the academic program (150% for all programs). For clock hour modular programs, students must also maintain a satisfactory rate of attendance. The student may not have absences in excess of 10% of the scheduled hours in a payment period, measured at the nearest full module. The maximum time frame allowed to complete is 150% of total number of weeks in the program of study (MTF). Evaluation Periods for SAP Satisfactory academic progress is measured for all students at the end of each grading period (i.e., at the end of each term, module, phase, level, quarter and payment period). Rate of Progress Toward Completion The school catalog contains a schedule designating the minimum percentage or amount of work that a student must successfully complete at the end of each evaluation period to complete their educational program within the maximum time frame (150%). Quantitative progress is determined by dividing the number of credit hours earned by the number of credit hours attempted. Credit hours attempted include completed hours, transfer credits, withdrawals, and repeated courses. Maximum Time Frame to Complete The maximum time frame for completion of all programs below the master s level is limited by federal regulation to 150% of the published length of the program. School shall calculate maximum time frame using credit hours 7

13 attempted. All credit hours attempted, which include completed credits, transfer credits, withdrawals, and repeated classes, count toward the maximum number of credits allowed to complete the program. For clock hour modular programs, a student is not allowed to attempt more than 1.5 times or 150% of the weeks in the program. Satisfactory Academic Progress Tables 48 Quarter Credit Hour Program.

Transfer credits (TR) are not included in the calculation of CGPA but are included in the Total Number of Credit Hours Attempted and Earned in order to determine the required levels for CGPA and rate of progress. Courses with grades of Pass, EL and PE are not included in the CGPA calculation but do count as credit hours successfully completed for the rate of progress calculation. For calculating rate of progress, F grades and W grades are counted as hours attempted but are not counted as hours successfully completed. Grades of IP will also be counted as hours attempted but not as hours successfully completed. When a course is repeated, the higher of the two grades is used in the calculation of CGPA, and the total credit hours for the original course and the repeated course are included in the Total Credit Hours Attempted 8

14 (in the SAP charts) in order to determine the required rate of progress level. The credit hours for the original attempt are considered as not successfully completed. When a student returns from a leave of absence and completes the course from which the student withdrew, the hours for which the student receives a passing grade are counted as earned; the grade, hours, and attendance for the original attempt prior to the official leave of absence are not counted for purpose of the rate of progress toward completion calculation and the original grade is not counted in the CGPA calculation. When a student transfers between programs, all attempts of courses common to both programs are included in the CGPA and ROP of the new program. Students graduating from one program and continuing on to another will have all successfully completed courses common to both programs included in the SAP calculations of the new program. Courses not in the new program, including grades of W or F, are excluded from all SAP calculations. SAP Advising SAP Advising is the period of time during which a student is advised and monitored for progress for the remainder of the term. During the SAP advising period, the student is eligible for financial aid. Academic advising shall be documented using the Academic Advising Form. The form shall be kept in the student s academic file. The Academic Dean/Director of Education (or designee) must provide a written notice of SAP Advising status. The following timelines apply for all students placed on SAP Advising status: For linear programs with an Add/Drop period: o Students must receive the notification by the first day of the term; and o Must be advised within fourteen (14) calendar days after the term start. NOTE: For terms without a break week, students must receive the notification within seven (7) calendar days after the term start and be advised within twenty-one (21) calendar days after the term start. For modular programs: o Students must receive the notification by the third (3) calendar day of the subsequent module; and o Must be advised within ten (10) calendar days after the module start. Financial Aid Warning SAP is evaluated at the end of each term and all students with a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) and/or rate of progress (ROP) below the required academic progress standards as stated in the school s catalog will move into SAP NOT MET status. Students not meeting SAP and with a previous SAP status: SAP MET or SAP ADVISING will be issued FA Warning letter and be advised that unless they improve their CGPA and/or rate of progress toward completion, they may be withdrawn from their program and lose eligibility for federal financial aid. Notification of Financial Aid Warning The Academic Dean/Director of Education (or designee) must provide the written notice of FA Warning status to all students with a previous SAP status: SAP Advising or SAP Met. The following timelines apply to all students receiving an FA Warning: For linear programs with an Add/Drop period: o Students must receive the notification by the first day of the term; and o Must be advised within fourteen (14) calendar days after the term start. NOTE: For terms without a break week, students must receive the notification within seven (7) calendar days after the term start and be advised within twenty-one (21) calendar days after the term start. For modular programs: o Students must receive the notification by the third (3rd) calendar day of the next module; and o Must be advised within ten (10) calendar days after the module start. Financial Aid Probation At the end of each term following a SAP evaluation, students with an immediate SAP NOT MET status and who are SAP NOT MET again according to the academic progress standards stated in the school s catalog, will be notified with a SAP NOT MET letter indicating that they will be withdrawn unless they successfully appeal by written request within five (5) calendar days after the notification in accordance with the Academic Appeals Policy. Appeals shall only be granted for the following reasons: the death of a family member; an illness or injury suffered by the student; special circumstances of an unusual nature which are not likely to recur. The Academic Dean/Director of Education (or designee) must provide written notice of all students placed on SAP NOT MET status: For linear programs with an Add/Drop period: o o Students must receive the notification by the first day of the term; If the student appeals this status and the appeal is approved, the student must receive an Academic Progress Plan within ten (10) calendar days after the appeal s approval. NOTE: For terms without a break week, students must receive the notification within seven (7) calendar days after the term start. 9

15 For modular programs: o Students must receive the notification by the third (3) calendar day of the next module; o If the student appeals this status and the appeal is approved, the student must receive an Academic Progress Plan within seven (7) calendar days after the appeal s approval. Notification of Financial Aid Probation FA Probation is the term for which the student s appeal has been accepted and progress is monitored under an Academic Progress Plan. Students must be notified in writing of their probationary status within three (3) calendar day of the change in status in the student information system. During the period of FA probation students will continue to be eligible for financial aid. While on FA probation, unless students improve their CGPA and /or rate of progress toward completion, in accordance with their Academic Progress Plan, they will be withdrawn from their program and become ineligible for further financial aid. All students on FA probation must be placed on an Academic Progress Plan. A student will remain on FA probation as long as he or she is meeting the requirements of his or her Academic Progress Plan when evaluated at the end of each evaluation period on the Plan. Academic Progress Plan Students on FA Probation must agree to the requirements of an Academic Progress Plan (APP) as a condition of their FA probation. Each student shall receive a copy of his or her APP. A copy of each student s APP shall be kept in the student s permanent academic file. The APP may extend over one (1) or multiple terms, as defined at the initiation of the APP. At the end of the first evaluation period on the APP, the student will meet with the Academic Dean/Director of Education (or designee)/online Designee for an evaluation of progress of the plan s requirements. If on a single-term plan and the student has met the requirement(s) of the plan, the student must be in SAP Advising or SAP Met status, and the student s APP shall be considered fulfilled and closed. If on a multi-term plan and the student has met the requirement(s) of the first evaluation period, then new requirement will be set and the student will be placed manually into SAP Meeting APP Status and will adhere to the subsequent term requirements of the APP. If at the end of any SAP evaluation period on the plan (APP) the student does not meet the plan s requirement(s), the student will receive a dismissal letter and will be dismissed from the program. Students who have violated their FA Probation and have been dismissed from a program are not eligible for readmission to that program if they have exceeded, or may exceed, the maximum time frame of completion until they re-establish appropriate Satisfactory Academic Progress standing. Evaluation of Progress At the end of each evaluation period encompassed by the APP, the student will meet with the Academic Dean/Director of Education (or designee) for an evaluation of progress of the plan s requirements. Determination of the student s success at meeting APP requirement(s) must be completed no later than the second (2 nd ) calendar day of the module or term. SAP Advising or SAP Met Status If the student has met the requirements of a one-term plan, the student must be in SAP Advising or SAP MET status and the student s APP shall be considered fulfilled and closed. The student will be provided with either a SAP Advising or Return to Academic Good Standing Letter. In the case of SAP Advising, the student will be advised with the Academic Advising form and will be FA eligible. The Academic Dean/Director of Education (or designee) must provide a written notice of Return to Academic Good Standing or SAP Advising status. The following timelines apply for all students placed on SAP Advising status: For linear programs with an Add/Drop period: o Students must receive the notification by the first day of the term; and o Must complete the Evaluation of Progress form within fourteen (14) calendar days after the notification. NOTE: For terms without a break week, students must receive the notification within seven (7) calendar days after the term start and must complete the Evaluation of Progress form within twenty-one (21) calendar days after the notification. For modular programs: o Students must receive the notification by the third (3) calendar day of the subsequent module; and o Must complete the Evaluation of Progress form within seven (7) calendar days after the notification. SAP Not Met Status and/or Dismissal If on a multi-term plan, it is likely the student will remain SAP NOT MET for the second (and ensuing) evaluation periods. At the end of each evaluation period, the student will be notified, evaluated for progress, and if the APP requirements are met, will be manually assigned SAP Meeting APP status and continue on the APP. New requirements for the second (or ensuing) evaluation period will be defined using the Evaluation of Progress form. The Academic Dean/Director of Education (or designee) must provide a written notice of SAP NOT MET status. The following timelines apply for all students placed on SAP NOT MET status: 10

16 For linear programs with an Add/Drop period: o Students must receive the notification by the first day of the term; and o Must complete the Evaluation of Progress form within fourteen (14) calendar days after the notification. NOTE: For terms without a break week, students must receive the notification within seven (7) calendar days after the term start and must complete the Evaluation of Progress form within twenty-one (21) calendar days after the notification. For modular programs: o Students must receive the notification by the third (3) calendar day of the subsequent module; and o Must complete the Evaluation of Progress form within seven (7) calendar days after the notification. If the student does not meet the Plan s requirements at the end of an evaluation period, the student will be dismissed from the program. If the student has not met the benchmark, the student must be dropped with the correct DOD (no later than second calendar day of module or term). The student must be notified of dismissal no later than the second calendar day of module or term. NOTE: If the student has make-up work, and the campus is willing to accept it, it must be completed within four (4) calendar days of grades being entered (as long as this doesn t extend beyond ten (10) calendar days after mod- or term-end), or the student must be dropped with the correct DOD. SAP Re-Entry Students who have violated FA Probation and have been dismissed shall not be readmitted if they cannot complete the program within the maximum time frame or re-establish appropriate Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standing. Retaking Passed Coursework Students may repeat coursework as long as such coursework does not include more than a single repetition of a previously passed course. Each attempt counts in the calculation of the students rate of progress and successful completion percentages. All repeated courses will appear on the student s transcript, but only the highest grade earned will be included in the calculation of their cumulative grade point average. Retaking Failed Coursework For the purpose of improving academic standing and establishing institutional grade point average, students must repeat any failed coursework. Failed courses may be repeated more than twice, so long as repeating the coursework does not jeopardize the students maximum time frame of completion. Pre-requisite modules in diploma programs may not be repeated more than three (3) attempts. Each attempt counts in the calculation of the students rate of progress and successful completion percentages. All repeated coursework will appear on the student s transcript, but only the highest grade earned will be included in the calculation of their cumulative grade point average. Attendance in successfully repeated classes/modules will also replace attendance in prior unsuccessful attempts. ADD/DROP POLICY (LINEAR PROGRAMS ONLY) Students may add or drop courses during the add/drop period without academic penalty. However, they must first obtain the permission of the Academic Dean/Director of Education (or designee) and the Director of Student Finance (or designee). Students are not permitted to add a course after the end of the add/drop period. Students who attend a course after the add/drop period shall be charged for the course pursuant to the refund policy as stated in this catalog. Students who drop a course after the add/drop period shall receive a grade of W (Withdraw) and be charged for the course pursuant to the refund policy as stated in this catalog. Full Term Courses The add/drop period for full term courses is the first fourteen (14) calendar days of the term, excluding holidays and regularly scheduled breaks. The taking of attendance of students who enroll during the add/drop period shall begin the first scheduled class session following the student s enrollment. Therefore, students who enroll in a full-term course during the add/drop period must attend class by the earlier of the 21 st calendar day of the term or the 14 th calendar day after enrollment, or be dropped from the course. Mini-Term Courses The registration period for second mini-term courses occurs well in advance prior to the start of the second miniterm. Continuing students, who are already enrolled in full term courses, should complete registration for upcoming second mini-term courses by the close of business on day twenty (20) of the full-term. Additionally, students must sign a Mini-Term Consent Form when registering for the upcoming second mini-term courses. Once the mini-term has begun, the add/drop period for mini-term courses is the first seven (7) calendar days of the term, excluding holidays and regularly scheduled breaks. The taking of attendance of students who enroll during the add/drop period shall begin the first scheduled class session following the student s enrollment. Students who enroll in mini-term courses during the add/drop period must attend class by the 14 th calendar day of the mini-term, or be dropped from the course. 11

17 Effects of Add/Drop on Financial Aid Calculation Adding or dropping a course may affect a student s enrollment status, and therefore the amount of financial aid for which the student is eligible. The Director of Student Finance (or Designee) is responsible for advising a student of the financial consequences of a change in registration. In order for second mini-term courses to be considered in the determination of a student s enrollment status for Pell grant purposes only, a student must register for the second mini-term courses by the close of business on day twenty (20) of the start of the full term, i.e. prior to the Census date. ATTENDANCE POLICY Attendance in class is critical to student academic success. This policy sets standards that provide for the withdrawal and dismissal of students whose absences exceed a set rate. Normally, a student is considered present if he or she is in the assigned classroom for the scheduled amount of time, i.e., neither late for class (tardy) nor leaving before the end of class (leave early). However, an instructor may consider a student present who does not attend the entire class session if (a) the criteria used to make the determination are stated in the course syllabus and (b) the amount of time missed does not exceed 50% of the class session. In clock hour modular programs, the student is awarded one hour of attendance for each 50-minute academic hour attended (there is a 10-minute administrative grace period). Establishing Attendance/Verifying Enrollment For programs with an add/drop period, the taking of attendance for a student enrolling during the add/drop period shall begin the first scheduled class session following the student s enrollment. In programs without an add/drop period, new students registered for a class shall attend by the second scheduled class session or be withdrawn. Monitoring Student Attendance Faculty shall monitor student attendance on the basis of both consecutive absences (the Consecutive Absence Rule ) and absences as a percentage of the hours (minus externship hours) in the term/program (the Percentage Absence Rule ). A student may appeal an attendance dismissal pursuant to the Student Academic Appeals Policy. Should an appeal be granted, the student is not dismissed, but shall be placed on probation and monitored with an advising plan. Should an appeal not be granted, the student shall be withdrawn from all courses and dismissed from school, and shall not be charged for attending while the appeal was pending. Students dismissed due to an attendance violation must reapply for admission to the school. In clock hour modular programs, the Percentage Absence Rule (identifying attendance violations) measure absences as a percentage of the hours in a module/payment period. Make-Up Attendance In clock hour modular programs, students may choose to, or be required to, make-up attendance. Make-up attendance can occur only outside of regularly-scheduled class time, and the quantity of make-up attendance per module cannot exceed the quantity of absence in that module. Make-up attendance must be completed by 14calendar days after mod end, and make-up work must be related to the module in which the absence occurred. Make-up time will be measured in 30-minute blocks of time, and must be monitored by Academics staff and approved by the Director of Education/Academic Dean. Qualified make-up attendance activities include, but are not limited to, taking/re-taking quiz or test, facilitated review or study, group project, study group, hands-on practice, lab check-offs, and completion of assignments. Consecutive Absence Rule When a student is absent from school for fourteen (14) consecutive calendar days excluding holidays and scheduled breaks, the faculty shall notify the Academic Dean/Director of Education. The following guidelines shall be followed: All students who state they will not return to school shall be promptly withdrawn; All students who state they will return must: 1. Attend their next scheduled class session; 2. File an appeal within five (5) calendar days of the violation; 3. Have perfect attendance while the appeal is pending; and Any student who has promised to return to school, but does not attend the next scheduled class session shall be withdrawn from all courses and dismissed from school. NOTE: For linear programs, the consecutive absence rule is applied to days missed in a single term. For modular programs, the consecutive absence rule is applied to days missed in the total program. 12

18 Percentage Absence Rule (Modular Programs) For students who have not previously violated the attendance policy: Percentage Action Taken 15% of the total classroom hours missed Attendance warning letter sent 20% of the total classroom hours missed Withdrawn from the module and dismissed from school For students who have been dismissed for violating the attendance policy, or would have been dismissed but for a successful appeal, the following rule shall apply: Percentage Action Taken 15% of the remaining classroom hours missed Attendance warning letter sent 20% of the remaining classroom hours missed Withdrawn from the module and dismissed from school Percentage Absence Rule (Clock Hour Modular Programs) Percentage Action Taken 10% of the total hours in each module Attendance warning letter sent first occurrence in a payment period Student is advised about the importance of making up attendance. 10% of the total hours in each module second occurrence in a payment period 10% of the total hours in each module third occurrence, and those that occur beyond the third More than 10% of the total hours in each payment period occurring prior to measurement of payment period completion for disbursement More than 10% of the total hours in each payment period at the point of measurement of payment period completion for disbursement Attendance warning letter sent Percentage Absence Rule (Linear Programs) For students who have not previously violated the attendance policy: Student is advised and required to make up attendance Withdrawn from the module and dismissed from school. Student has the opportunity to appeal the dismissal, and will be required to agree to an attendance plan that will define requirements for making up attendance Attendance warning letter sent Student is advised and required to make up attendance Withdrawn from the module and dismissed from school. Student has the opportunity to appeal the dismissal and will be required to make up attendance - prior to the end of the first payment period, or outside of regularly-scheduled hours in the second payment period classes. Note: The appeal shall not be entered until remediation to below 10% of the total payment period hours absence has occurred. Percentage Action Taken 25% of the total hours for all courses in a term Attendance warning letter sent 40% of the total hours for all courses in a term Withdrawn from all courses and dismissed from school For students who have been dismissed for violating the attendance policy, or would have been dismissed but for a successful appeal, the following rule shall apply: Percentage Action Taken 25% of the total remaining hours for all courses in a term Attendance warning letter sent 40% of the total remaining hours for all courses in a term Withdrawn from all courses and dismissed from school Should a student violate the applicable Percentage Absence Rule, the following guidelines shall be followed: All students who state they will not return to school shall be promptly withdrawn; All students who state they will return must: 1. Attend class within five (5) calendar days of the violation; 2. File an appeal within five (5) calendar days of the violation; 3. Have perfect attendance while the appeal is pending; and Any student who has promised to return to school, but who does not return within five (5) calendar days of the violation shall be withdrawn from all courses and dismissed from school. 13

19 Date of Withdrawal When a student is withdrawn for consecutive absences within the term or module, the date of the student s withdrawal shall be the student s last date of attendance (LDA). When a student is withdrawn for violating the applicable percentage absence rule, the Date of Withdrawal shall be the date of the violation. Note: The Date of Withdrawal shall be the earlier of a violation of the Consecutive Absence Rule or the Percentage Absence Rule. Date of Determination (DOD) The Date of Determination (DOD) shall be the date the school determined the student would not return to class. This is the date used to determine the timeliness of the refund. The DOD is the earliest of the following three (3) dates: The date the student notifies the school (verbally or in writing) that s/he is not returning to class; The date the student violates the published attendance policy; or No later than the 14th calendar day after the LDA; scheduled breaks are excluded when calculating the DOD. Attendance Records The computer attendance database is the official record of attendance. The official record may be challenged by filing an attendance appeal according to the Student Academic Appeal Policy. Without an appeal, after the 14th calendar day following the end of the term/module, the computer attendance database shall be considered final. LEAVE OF ABSENCE POLICY (MODULAR PROGRAMS ONLY) Everest permits students to request a leave of absence (LOA) as long as the leave does not exceed a total of 180 days during any 12-month period, starting from the first day of the first leave, and as long as there are documented, legitimate extenuating circumstances that require the students to interrupt their education, including pregnancy (including childbirth, false pregnancy, termination of pregnancy, and recovery therefrom) or temporary disability. Students requesting an LOA must submit a completed Leave of Absence Request Form prior to the beginning date of the leave. If unforeseen circumstances prevent the student from submitting the request in advance, the leave may still be granted, but only if: a) the school documents the unforeseen circumstances, and b) the student submits a completed Leave of Absence Request Form by the tenth (10th) calendar day of the leave. A student must return from a LOA on the first day of any appropriate module or prior to the expiration of his or her leave. A student who goes on leave prior to the end of a module shall receive a grade of L (leave) which shall remain on his or her transcript until the student returns from an LOA, retakes the entire module and earns a grade. The module with a grade of L shall not be included in the calculation of Rate of Progress (ROP), Maximum Time Frame (MTF) or attendance. NOTE: Everest does not permit leaves of absence for students enrolled in quarter-based programs. Students experiencing circumstances that may make it necessary to interrupt their attendance temporarily should see the Academic Dean/Director of Education. Re-Admission Following a Leave of Absence Upon return from leave, the student will be required to repeat the module, if it had been interrupted, and receive final grades. The student will not be charged any fee for the repeat of any module from which the student took leave or for students returning from a leave of absence. The date the student returns to class is normally scheduled for the beginning of a module. When a student is enrolled in a modular program, the student may return at any appropriate module, not only the module from which the student withdrew. Extension of Leave of Absence A student on an approved LOA may submit a request to extend the LOA without returning to class. Such a request may be approved by the Academic Dean/Director of Education provided: The student submits a completed LOA Extension Request Form before the end date of the current leave. There is a reasonable expectation the student will return. The number of days in the leave as extended, when added to all other approved leaves, does not exceed 180 calendar days in any twelve (12) month period calculated from the first day of the student s first leave. Appropriate modules required for completion of the program will be available to the student on the date of return. If the extension request is approved, the end date of the student s current leave will be changed in the official student information system to reflect the new end date. If the request is denied, the student will be withdrawn and the withdrawal date will be the student s last date of attendance (LDA). 14

20 Failure to Return From a Leave of Absence A student who fails to return from a LOA on or before the date indicated in the written request will be terminated from the program, and the institution will invoke the refund policy. As required by federal statute and regulations, the student s last date of attendance prior to the approved LOA will be used in order to determine the amount of funds the institution earned and make any refunds that may be required under federal, state, or institutional policy. The L grade in the LOA beginning module shall be changed to W (withdraw). The module with a grade of W shall be included as an attempt in the calculation of Rate of Progress and Maximum Time Frame. Possible Effects of a Leave of Absence Students who are contemplating an LOA should be cautioned that one or more of the following factors may affect the length of time it will take the student to graduate. Students returning from a LOA are not guaranteed that the module required to maintain the normal progress in their training program will be available at the time of reentry They may have to wait for the appropriate module to be offered Financial aid may be affected. EXTERNSHIP TRAINING Upon successful completion of all classroom requirements, students in programs that require an externship are expected to begin the externship portion of their programs within 14 calendar days (excluding holidays and regularly scheduled breaks). If a student does not begin externship training within 14 calendar days, he/she must be dropped from the program. A leave of absence (LOA) may only be approved if the student s reason meets the criteria of the LOA Policy. Students may only miss 14 consecutive calendar days once they start externship or they must be dropped from the program. Each student has approximately 120 calendar days to complete their externship. Any modular student who does not complete externship training within 120 calendar days should meet with the Academic Dean/Director of Education to approve the time remaining to complete the externship. Students who drop from externship either prior to starting or during externship and/or delay the completion of their externship for more than 30 days from the last days of attendance must have their skills evaluated by a program instructor or director/chair prior to re-entry to ensure they are still competent to perform skills safely in the externship setting. WITHDRAWAL PROCEDURES Students who intend to withdraw from school are requested to notify the Academic Dean/Director of Education by telephone, in person, by or in writing to provide official notification of their intent to withdraw and the date of withdrawal. Timely notification by the student will result in the student being charged tuition and fees for only the portion of the payment period or period of enrollment that he/she attended as well as ensuring a timely return of federal funds and any other refunds that may be due. Students requesting a withdrawal from school must complete a financial aid exit interview. Students who have withdrawn from school may contact the school s Education Department about re-entry. MAKE-UP WORK At the instructor s discretion, make-up work may be provided to students who have missed class assignments or tests. Make-up work must be completed within ten (10) calendar days after the end of the term/module. REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION Successfully complete all courses in the program with a 2.0 (70%) cumulative grade point average within the maximum time frame for completion as stated in the school catalog. Successfully complete all externship requirements (if applicable). Meet any additional program-specific requirements as stated in the catalog. Commencement exercises are held at least once a year. Upon graduation, all students who are current with their financial obligation to the school shall receive their diploma. VETERANS EDUCATION BENEFITS Prior Credit for Education and Training All VA beneficiaries are required to disclose prior postsecondary school attendance, military education and training, and provide official transcripts for such education and training. The student is responsible for ensuring that all transcripts are submitted to the school. The school is responsible for evaluating official written transcripts of previous education and experience, granting credit where appropriate, notifying the student, and shortening the program certified accordingly. 15
